Brilliant engineering is both simple and effective, and results in a reliable product. I'd say The HOT Team does "simple" better than most.

I am a mentor, and I had to get the info from the Primary.

OK, now I have the team password and I'm in, but I still don't see where to enter new questions. The "Team Questions" tab has a search function, and there's a new "Member Account" tab I added myself to. I still don't see how to ask a new question!

I believe you need to: type your question in the search box, search it, and then a button should appear letting you ask the question.

The change to G28 is interesting to me. Defensive strategies were already barely viable, and the change makes defense an even worse option. I expect to see defensive bots entirely abandoned. I'll risk a tortuga if it means the other team isn't getting free G28s. G40-1 is disappointing, but not surprising. I still expect the ramparts to me used in slot 2 as an inbound method, at some point.
